SleekView Charts for Cron Status Checker
SleekView Charts reads the checks Cron Status Checker performs (and the option it writes when wp-cron is broken) and renders pass-rate, failure reason, drift and per-day trend as Number, Pie, Bar and Area cards.

Cron health is binary on the surface, rich underneath
Cron Status Checker is the simplest possible cron health tool: it confirms whether WP-Cron is reachable, whether scheduled events are firing, and surfaces a clear failure when something is off. Brilliant for catching the moment a misconfigured DISABLE_WP_CRON or a server-level block silently stops events from running. Less useful when the question is "how often does this break, and when".
SleekView Charts assumes a small history shim: the plugin already runs its checks on a schedule, and a one-line action handler appends each check result (status, reason, drift_seconds, checked_at) into a dedicated table. With that table in place, the binary surface becomes a real dashboard. A Number card shows pass rate over 30 days. A Pie splits reasons for failure. A Bar groups checks by hour-of-day to spot patterns. An Area trends drift seconds so a slow degradation surfaces as a trend line.
The plugin's notice and admin bar indicator stay where they are for the live answer. The chart surface is the longitudinal view sites with ongoing cron concerns actually need.

Comparison
Default Cron Status Checker notice vs SleekView Charts
Default status notice
- Status notice gives a binary pass or fail in the moment
- No history view of how often cron has failed over the month
- Failure reasons surface one at a time, never grouped
- Drift trend is not visible until it crosses the failure threshold
- No way to share a read-only cron-health summary with a client or host
SleekView Charts
- KPI card for pass rate over any window
- Pie split of failure reasons across captured checks
- Bar of checks by hour to spot patterns tied to backup or deploy windows
- Area trend of drift_seconds for early-warning capacity planning
- Same checks feed both the chart and triage table views
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Cron Status Checker
Pass rate as a real number
Render the captured history as Number, Pie, Bar and Area cards. Cron health stops being a notice that came and went and becomes a percentage with a trend.
Reason buckets, not one-shot alerts
Group failed checks by reason to see whether the dominant cause is a blocked request, a missed event or drift. The fix is different in each case.
Share with hosting or client
Export captured checks behind a card as CSV or share the dashboard URL. Conversations with hosting providers start with a real timeline of failures instead of one screenshot.
Audience
Who builds Cron Status Checker charts dashboards with SleekView
Hosting and SRE teams
Watch the cron pass rate per environment and correlate failures with hosting events such as backups, restarts and config changes.
Ops leads
Trend drift_seconds per day to spot cron silently running late. Fix it before it crosses the failure threshold and starts pinging the team at 2am.
Agency client managers
Hand a client a read-only cron-health dashboard for their site. The conversation about whether scheduled tasks are reliable becomes a number rather than a quarterly anecdote.
The bigger picture
Why cron health needs a history, not just a status
Cron Status Checker does its single job well: it tells you, right now, whether WP-Cron is running. For most sites that is enough on most days. For sites that have actually had cron problems, or that run mission-critical schedules, the binary surface is not the whole story.
The real question is how often cron is breaking, when, why, and whether it is trending better or worse. Answering that needs a history table, not a notice. A tiny shim that captures each check result is enough to flip the picture.
Pass rate becomes a percentage. Failure reasons get grouped instead of seen one at a time. Drift seconds become a trend that warns weeks before the next outright failure.
The plugin's notice stays where it is for the live answer. SleekView Charts is the longitudinal layer on top, and on serious sites it is the one that catches the slow degradations the live indicator was never built to see.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Cron Status Checker
Just a captured history. The plugin already runs its checks on a schedule. A small mu-plugin hooks the check action and writes one row per result into a dedicated table such as wp_cron_health. SleekView reads that table directly.
No. The shim writes one row per check and the plugin only runs the check on its own schedule. A single insert per check is invisible compared to the work the check itself does.
Yes. Group by checked_at on an Area or Line card with an Average aggregation on drift_seconds to see drift per day or week. Useful for spotting cron quietly running late before it starts failing the threshold check.
Yes. Group by reason on a Pie or Bar card to split failures across the categories Cron Status Checker reports: cron not running, missed events, drift over threshold, request blocked. Each category has a different fix.
No. The status indicator stays the live answer. SleekView Charts is the longitudinal view on the captured history. Both are useful: the indicator catches the moment cron breaks, the dashboard tells you whether it has been breaking often.
Yes. Group by an hour field derived from checked_at on a Bar card. Useful for spotting cron breakage that correlates with backup windows, deploy windows or quiet-traffic periods that disable real-visitor-triggered cron.
Yes. Dashboards can be gated by WordPress capability or shared as a read-only URL. Hosting partners and clients can read the cron-health view without admin access to the install.
Yes. Any filtered set behind a chart card exports as CSV. Useful for a hosting ticket where you need to prove that cron checks failed at specific times during the last 30 days.
